New Beta 2024 04 12

[AF6MQ]

i ran into the no-audio problem here too. i have 5x md-uv390. all with the 20240412 beta. after 1-2 minutes of idle or scan the audio and beep goes away. if i go to options-audio and re-select beep then it comes back. if i force open the squelch it comes back. if i set Eco to 0 the problem goes away (default is Eco =1). the firmware info screen says cpu:stm, 0x0413, 0x1007,0x0005,512kb. one of the others does it too, one does not, other 2 not tested. i will re-post when i figure which other is also doing it.
--gaspo.

I'm running the beta on an md-390 10w. I don't know if this is something that can/should be fixed, but the minimum volume level seems to be quite loud, especially when listening in a quiet room. I can turn the volume down right up to the edge of where it cuts off completely, but the lowest setting is still rather loud.

I'd there a way to adjust this in settings? I've dug through the menus and haven't seen anything related. Maybe in calibration? If not, I'd really appreciate it if it could be addressed in a future update! Assuming it's even possible from a firmware perspective of course.

Thanks much, this firmware is fantastic compared to the stock firmware!

FM, DMR or both?

My RT3S are more the other way around, sometimes I wish my radio had more volume.

For DMR you can try to reduce the RX AGC, FM has no settings that affect received volume.

I've only noticed it in FM, I haven't had a chance to listen to much DMR traffic in my area so far. Just sitting here in my living room I need to put the radio facedown on a pillow while it's at minimum volume for it to be comfortably listenable.

It's strange that nobody reported such problem.

Send me an email, I will have some stuff to test for you.

It's strange that the screen is cropped at the bottom

What's also strange is the gap at the top of the screen.

Have they loaded the DM1701 instead of the RT84 Version?

I’ve received my radio and loaded the RT-84 version on the DM-1701B. It doesn’t have the cropped screen issues as above. It works great here in VK.

It even has enough room for the worldwide contacts database.

Hello friends

I just installed the beta version (2024 04 12) on my Baofeng 1701

Everything is fine compared to previous versions, except that I do not get the VOICE option from the menu: OPTIONS - SOUND - PROMPT

I have the latest voices loaded from the CPS (Spanish in this case)

Greetings

I have used another UV380 compatible file and it seems to have been solved.

Thanks friends

Are you sure you updated the voice prompts with the latest available packs (.vpr)? If any voice option is available it's because it's missing or the installed version mismatches.

Cheers.

I have solved it with a UV380 compatible file dated 2023-12-15. The vpr files dated 2024-04-26 are the ones that have given me problems.
